Living Project-Based Learning
An Autoethnographic Exploration
A reflective journey into teaching Critical Reading at Institut Teknologi Bandung, exploring the transition from teacher-centered to student-centered learning.
"To the teachers who nurture curiosity, and the learners who turn knowledge into kindness."
"Learning lives in the hands that build, the minds that inquire, and the communities that grow together."
About the Book
This book documents a transformative journey in pedagogy—from traditional teacher-centered instruction to a dynamic, student-centered approach using Project-Based Learning (PrBL) in a Critical Reading course at Institut Teknologi Bandung.
Through autoethnographic reflection, Muchsonah Abdullah explores how students from diverse disciplines—from Engineering to Art—navigate complex real-world problems, develop critical thinking skills, and transform knowledge into meaningful action.
The book presents a detailed 13-unit roadmap that guides educators through implementing PrBL in their own classrooms, complete with practical frameworks, rubrics, and student project examples.
